On Sunday September 28th, the Diamond will host a competition where six teams try to create the best homebrew and home-cooked dish pairing. These dedicated participants will compete to win a trip to the Stoudt’s Brewing Company Oktoberfest in Adamstown, Pennsylvania. You can pay $20 to sample each of the contestants pairings and vote on the winner. The $20 is donated to East New York Farms, a really great local community organization.

There will be two sessions, an afternoon session from 3-4:30pm and an evening session from 5-6:30pm. Reserve a spot by calling 718-383-5030.
